Welcome to the 2013 HBT Fantasy Football League. A big thanks to NIZZLE for setting this up.

Details: This is the thread for discussion of the 2013 Fantasy Football League.
Here's the link and info for the league on nfl.com. http://homebrewtalk.league.fantasy.nfl.com
League ID: 1532226
League Password: yeast

There will be a maximum of 20 spots in this league. First come, first served.

Rules/prize info:
This is only open to members in the Continental US only.
Ok, this is a friendly game and everyone should have fun while participating. But keep in mind, there can only be one #1 at the end of the season. Good luck to everyone.
By participating in this league you agree that, should you place any spot other than #1, you will send a congratulatory prize to the winner. We will stick with what was agreed on when this league was being set up.
Each member will send the winner one bomber of commercial beer. If for some reason there are no good bomber choices where you live, then you can send atleast 22 oz of commercial beer. And come on guys, lets keep it craft please. I don't think the winner wants to end up with nineteen 24 oz cans of corona. ;)
Anything beyond 22 oz, such as homebrew, is up to the individual sender/loser.
But at the bare minimum each participant's package should include 22oz of beer. Please follow through with sending your prize to the winner. This is a great community, so lets keep that reputation up.
If you do not send your prize, we will hunt you down, find you, raid your beer stash and beat you mercilessly. (Well, maybe not. ;))
At the end of the season, the winner is responsible for getting his shipping info to each participant.
And, sorry, no prizes will be awarded to any places but first. The prize for second place is the satisfaction that you did 2nd best. :D
Even though this is for fun, please only join if you are serious about keeping up with your team and not becoming inactive midway through.
The live draft is set for 7/28/13 at 7:00 PM CDT. Please plan on being online for this event.

Other than that, lets have fun guys. This thread will be used to keep up with everything from week to week when the season begins and general trash talking. And until the draft and the beginning of the season feel free to discuss everything.

Just so I understand your prior post - this ketchup is better than your homebrew? ;)

Better than most of my homebrew! ;)
I mentioned it to Ostomo517 because its a Texas thing and he misses Whataburger and their awesome ketchup.
 
Ok I will be adding more spots soon and the rules and grand prize thanks for all the support :)

When you post the rules and prize info I'll add it to the OP.
 
I have never participated in a fantasy football league, but the people in my office are crazy about it. Looks like the winner will be getting some Zhukov from me and an amazing homebrew, haha

Can't wait to receive all those packages of beer when I win. It'll be like Christmas.

You know the old saying:
Don't count your bombers before they've hatched, or is it don't count your chickens before they're brewed...............
 
we have 6 more spots now lets fill them up

In as of this morning too (Big Green Machine, for now).

So it's at 20 teams now? Should that be the cap? Don't want to water it down too much.

Any prize for 2nd/3rd? Or winner take all?

2nd gets beer from 3 league members? 3rd doesn't have to ship anything?

Tossing out ideas...
 
how about 1st place gets 12 bombers & home brews and 2nd gets 6 of each? We can figure out who would get from whom (as in 3rd through 14th place send to winner and 15th through 20th send to runner up) or just randomly draw.
 
i like second place receiving something, that means a 10% chance of receiving beer for everyone and i like those odds

yes sir 20 is the cap if it don't fill no big deal but we need at least one more person
 
maybe have everyone send a bomber and HB to the winner and everyone(including winner) sends just a HB to second place
 
Haven't used nfl.com fantasy league before, but is there any way to set up a league survey to put this to a vote?
